Panel features with multiple drives  
Panel views  
In a panel bus configuration, the control panel communicates with one drive at a time. Any  
information shown on the control panel, such as the status bar or signals in the Home view  
pertain to the currently selected drive. Similarly, the control panel stores data to its memory  
only from the currently selected drive.  
Changes to the Home view configuration and any parameter changes are saved in the  
drive. They can be transferred to other drives using the backup feature.  
You can view information on other drives in the panel bus and switch to another drive in the  
Select drive menu.  
The Help page  
The content of the Help page is drive-specific, and it always refers to the currently selected  
drive.  
Graph data  
The data for the graph format in the Home view is stored in the control panel only for the  
selected drive. Upon changing the selected drive, any stored graph data is discarded, and  
graph data collection begins for the new drive.  
History graphs and all related settings (signal selection, horizontal timescale) are saved in  
the drive, and the History graphs menu shows always the graphs for the currently selected  
drive. Data collection takes places independently in each drive.  
Backups  
The control panel can store backups from different drives. Conversely, backups from a drive  
can be uploaded to another drive.  
Customized content  
Each drive in the panel bus has its own custom content because all the customizations are  
stored in the drive.  
Assistants  
Assistants are drive-specific, which means that different drives in the panel bus can have  
different assistants. However, the assistant framework is the same for all assistants in all  
drives.
